How does this product compare to the refillable Kcup by Keurig?
30382
I can't speak to whether the ekobrew is better or worse than the Keurig version, but the problem you experience when using the Keurig reusable cup is easy to solve. There's a "donut" rubber gasket that fits around the steel hot water injection tube that pierces the top of a standard K-cup in your brewer. Through use, this gasket gets pushed up and as a result it doesn't seal properly against the top of the reusable K-cup. To fix the water from escaping the top of the Keurig reusable cup, gently pull the gasket downward until it's close to - but not off of - the injector tip. Don't worry about pulling it down too far - the K-cup and your machine will fix this. Just close it gently.

Does anyone own the K145 Office Pro that has tried these refillables or another brand that work?

As far as I have experienced, it does accept all brands of regular K-cups, and also reusable refill style cups. I don't like the refill one that Keurig makes, because you have to take out the pod cartridge inside the machine and replace it with the refillable one, which is a hassle. I like the one I bought at Bed Bath and Beyond that is a little plastic pod that fits right in the space where a disposable pod would fit, and comes with tiny little paper filters so you can use your own coffee instead of buying the expensive Keurig pods all the time.

Yes, it is most certainly commercial grade. My first experience with a Keurig was with the B130 at a Hilton Hotel near Austin, Texas and I liked the coffee so much that I bought one for myself; although I opted for the K75 instead because it makes several cup sizes and pre-heats the water. However, the B130 is a sturdier unit and would hold up better to rough usage, such as would be expected in a hotel, and the single cup size fits in with the strategy of simple and sturdy.

I don't know how the K-cups relate to other models. However, I will say that I was not happy with the machine because the coffee that is made was so weak and so I returned it.

I started with the K-cup model and bought the Vue. There are pluses and minuses to both: Vue - The Vue allows you more control over your coffee than the older Keurig version. You can customize your water temperature. Also, while models of the older Keurig allow you to make different cup sizes like the Vue, the Vue allows you to slow the percolation process so you can make stronger coffee. Larger cup sizes on the old Keurig just allow you to make weaker coffee because you use more water. Also, some coffees are available in larger 'Mug' versions that allow you to make even larger, stronger coffees. The Vue also has a better design in the coffee basket area. The Keurig has a small plastic cup that the K-cup sits in. The water comes through a needle into the cup and out a hole in the bottom of the K-cup, into the plastic coffee basket and out the bottom of the basket into your coffee cup. The K-cup is thrown away, but the plastic basket stays. In the Vue, the water goes into the Vue pod, percolates and goes out of a spout in the pod directly to your coffee cup. There is no basket that needs to be cleaned and no chance you are tasting some of last week's coffee stained into the basket. The plastic part of the Vue pod is also recyclable if you remove the coffee insite (it can be messy if you aren't careful). The older Keurig is cheaper - both initially for the machine and in terms of the K-cups. It also has MUCH more variety in coffee you can get -- you don't need to make trips to special stores or purchase through the internet. You CAN use K-cups in the Vue with a little McGyvering (Google it to see how) but it can be messy and jam the machine if you are not careful. How do they taste? Well, in my unscientific opinion, the Vue has the edge in coffees I've had in both machines. That's why I use it, but I cry a little when I go into the grocery stores and see the K-cup options :). You can't really go wrong with either machine, they are both very good. It's just a matter of preference.

Gee, it's instant COFFEE, so I believe it is the same; the process is possibly different but it's coffee. Why not check online for the breakdown and let us all know what comparisons you've found?

You cannot use your own coffee in a regular Kcup; however, I have seen plastic Kcups sold on the web for just such a purpose. The K75 makes 5 different cup sizes while the K65 only makes 3. Additionally, the K75 has a 72 oz water reservoir while the K65 has only a 60 oz one.

It doesn't exactly taste the same. The smallest size will give you a more robust or stronger brew. But to be honest we use the large setting and it tastes like a standard cup of coffee, not weak like you might think. I use the small cup when I mix or blend two diffetent kcups like coco and French roast.

We have had the k-cup machine and now have th vue. The. Use cups are more expensive and there are less choices right now but I have a feeling that will change. We feel like we get a more flavorful cup of coffee from the vue cups. Also we would recommend buying the vue cups online from keurig right now they almost always have a deal going, you earn points and once you create an account you get 10% off every order and orders over $50 get free shipping. We really enjoy our Keurig VUE and would highly recommend it!!!

I live in Canada and when I bought it, I got a 12 pack of kcups, but they were all the same coffee(Van Houtte House Blend). I was disappointed since I was eager to try new flavors :(. But that being said, I love my new brewer!!

Forget the stupid "My K-cup" Keurig filter and buy the ekobrew. It's superior in every possible way. I tried the My K-cup that Keurig makes (and sells for way too much money). It's awkward to use, can be very messy when it doesn't work properly, and even at it's best produces a weak cup of coffee. The Ekobrew is much easier to use and actually gives you a full bodied cup as good as any k-cup. I've stopped buying k-cups altogether now that Keurig has raised the price by about 30%. Thanks to products like solofill and ekobrew I can thumb my nose at Keurig and it's monopoly on k-cups!

I have had a Keurig for a year and love it but it does not make a froth on the coffee like Senseo. Furthermore, the Kcups are almost double the price of the Senseo pods. I have tasted Senseo coffee at a friends house and I like it better than the Keurig. If I was buying, I would purchase the Senseo for the above reasons. Kumar

It's real coffee inside the cups. There is a mini filter also in the cup. The machine puts a hole in the top and bottom of the K cup, hot water flows with a small amount of pressure through the K cup. Takes 10 seconds. When done you just toss Kcup, with the grounds in it still, in the trash. I get all my coffee from coffeewhiz.com and my wife and I love it.

I see the same thing and expect Keurig to clue us. The taste and flavor are different but pleasant so I probably reorder once more.I fault Keurig for switching without prior notice.AHR

This product is far superior to the keurig version. I have one and I do NOT have any problem with water and coffee grounds spraying all over the place. The water and the coffee stay in the unit where they belong!
